Re: 3.0 auto box/clutch problem, sorted!

Well had the 330 in yesterday for a replacement harness/temp sensor with filter and fluid change. Wow what a difference !! The gear change is hardly noticeable at all, really smooth changes. It seems to pull a lot better too as before there was excessive slip from the torque converter. This simple f...

Re: 3.0 auto box/clutch problem, help?

Got to wait for the temp sensor which is part of a loom to be delivered from Germany. Bmw part only. Getting the filter and gasket kit today then around 7 litres of ATF fluid.

Will report back when it's done. I'm hoping it will sort the intermittent fault.

It has a faulty transmission fluid temperature sensor and needs an Oil and filter change.

Re: Surrey Rolling Road

It would be interesting to see a before and after dyno with a service, injector cleaner and new plugs ;)

Standard S50s will achieve around 300-310 bhp

Then with tuning ie air filter, exhaust and remap your looking at 320-325

Then add upgraded cams and remap your looking around 340bhp

3.0 auto box/clutch problem, help?

Hi peeps,

Having a problem with the 330ci, today all of a sudden the gearbox has just started 'clunking'/ jolting between all gears and even when you select drive and reverse from stand still.
Does anyone have any knowledge of auto box problems?

Any help would be much appreciated

As long as you keep all four corners the same tyre they should be fine. Falken 452s or 453s get good feedback from zed drivers. I had hankook V12s (iirc) on my 2.8 and they were fine. Khumo tyres are quite good for budget tyres too.. Had those on other cars with no problems. Currently got those on t...
